TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>NOT long ago, some oxen of our herds upon the moor,<lb/>
                                        In furious fight among themselves, as oft I've seen before,<lb/>
                                        Were suddenly surpris'd to see some Wolves, which, crouching low,<lb/>
                                        Were stealing on the herd to strike and unexpected blow.<lb/>
                                        Like magic, all at once, th' intestine feuds and bloodshed cease,<lb/>

                                        As though the common danger has subdued them all to peace:<lb/>
                                        And quick, -as if impress'd with all the folly of their strife;<lb/>
                                        Made sensible that Union alone could save the life<lb/>
                                        Of each and all, -to face the foe they haste a ring to form, <lb/>
                                        And croup to croup close press'd make front to meet th'impending storm.*<lb/>
                                        'T was just in time! for scarely were they marshall'd back to back,<lb/>
                                        When down upon the herd already bursts the rav'ning pack:<lb/>
                                        But all in vain the Wolves assail; for everywhere they meet<lb/>
                                        A phalanx of opposing horns, their onset fierce to greet;<lb/>
                                        And high in air uptoss'd, or disembowell'd on the plain,-<lb/>
                                        The few remaining take to flight, nor dare th'affault again.<lb/>
                                        So should consed'rate States and Peoples hush all inward strife,<lb/>
                                        When from without a foreign #?foe assails the Nation's life;<lb/>
                                        All discords then out-trodden-'tis by Unity alone<lb/>
